Updating Aadhaar Registered Mobile Number Now Vital for Seamless Access to Online Services
The Unique Identification Authority of India  has announced a crucial update for Aadhaar cardholders, emphasizing the significance of maintaining an accurate and up-to-date registered mobile number. In a digital age where Aadhaar is a cornerstone for accessing a plethora of government and non-government services, subsidies, pensions, scholarships, and more, ensuring the correctness of your Aadhaar data is of paramount importance.
Your registered mobile number serves as the key to unlocking a world of Aadhaar Online Services. It is essential for enabling seamless access to a wide array of services, including government and non-government offerings, subsidy benefits, pensions, scholarships, social benefits, banking, insurance, taxation, education, employment, and healthcare services. A valid and up-to-date mobile number is vital to ensure a smooth experience when availing these services.
If you haven't already registered your mobile number while enrolling for Aadhaar, it is imperative that you visit a Permanent Enrolment Centre to get it registered. Once registered, your mobile number will serve as a link between you and a host of vital services, making your life simpler and more efficient.
Changes in life events such as marriage, relocation, or modifications in personal details necessitate updates to your Aadhaar data. These changes might include alterations to your name, address, mobile number, email address, and more. Ensuring accurate demographic information is crucial to prevent disruptions in service delivery and to maintain the integrity of your Aadhaar profile.
If you find that your demographic data on your Aadhaar card needs to be updated, you can easily initiate the process through the official UIDAI portal. Whether it's correcting errors from the enrolment process or making necessary changes due to life events, the UIDAI portal provides a user-friendly interface to facilitate these updates.
UIDAI encourages all residents to verify and update their demographic data whenever necessary to enable uninterrupted access to a wide range of services. By doing so, you contribute to a smoother, more efficient, and secure digital experience for yourself and fellow citizens.

IIT's innovation center makes full body Sanitization Device
In today's global environment, everyone is trying to fight against Covid-19 virus. At present, the only way to defend ourselves from corona is to sanitize properly and maintain social distance. Shri Jeetu Shukla, an incubate of Malaviya Centre for Innovation, Incubation and Entrepreneurship  at IIT has developed a device that can be used to sanitize the entire body. The device can be mounted anywhere and it works in an automated manner. The device is sensor based which can be installed outside any premises. The sensor based installed machine will automatically detect a person coming in front of the device and will spray 10-15 ml of sanitizer for 15 seconds and this will sanitize the person's entire body, clothes, shoes, etc. This device can be installed at any place where there is movement of people, so that the person can enter the premises only after getting sanitized.
Giving information in this regard, Prof. P.K. Mishra, Coordinator, Malviya Centre for Innovation, Incubation & Entrepreneurship, IIT said that this device has been made according to today's requirement. We are using normal sanitizer currently being used by Govt. Due to this sanitization, it is possible to avoid most of the viruses that cause harm to the person. Validation of the dose, exposure time, frequency is under process. However, even after being sanitized with this device, one is required to wear masks, make social distancing and wash hands with soap at regular intervals.
